New parents Olivia Wilde and Jason Sudeikis have moved out of their Manhattan, New York home and relocated to Brooklyn. The couple placed its Meatpacking District pad on the market for $3.9 million (£2.4 million) last month (Jan15) and is rumoured to have purchased a nine-bedroom property, complete with a library, in Clinton Hill for $9.8 million (£6.1 million), according to the New York Post.

George Clooney and his new bride Amal have topped a new celebrity sex tape wish list. The couple, who wed earlier this year (14) in Italy, have toppled Prince William and Kate, Duchess of Cambridge as the celebrities porn fans would most like to see making out, according to bosses at top sex tape distributor Vivid Entertainment.
The Clooneys have beaten out Jennifer Lawrence and Chris Martin to the top of the new list, while Miley Cyrus and Patrick Schwarzenegger come in third.
Vivid co-founder Steven Hirsch tells WENN, "George and Amal quickly gained our favour as the world's hottest couple with the speed of their romance and sheer glamour of their Italian wedding. We're confident that a sex tape starring this couple would be an instant international bestseller."
Sofia Vergara and Joe Manganiello and Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds round out the new top five, while Emma Stone and Andrew Garfield, new parents Olivia Wilde and Jason Sudeikis, Amber Heard and Johnny Depp, Behati Prinsloo and Adam Levine, and Charlize Theron and Sean Penn make the top 10.

Jennifer Aniston and her Horrible Bosses co-stars spent a plane journey with Benedict Cumberbatch discussing a potential role for him in the next movie.
The former Friends star appeared alongside Jason Bateman, Charlie Day and Jason Sudeikis, in the original comedy, and they have all returned for a sequel, Horrible Bosses 2, with Chris Pine and Christoph Waltz joining the cast. Aniston admits they are all keen to make a third film in the franchise, so they made the most of a meeting with Cumberbatch on a plane to London and attempted to persuade him to take on a nasty role in the next movie.
She tells London Live's The Evening Show, "I just flew on an airplane with him, we all did. We think we recruited him to be in number three as the new boss. He might have said yes and I don't think he knows it. Could you imagine being on an airplane and being bombarded by the three boys and me and all of us going, 'So you're going to be the new boss?' And I was like, 'He is?' Apparently he said, 'Yes, apparently I am.' He was very excited to sort of digress with us."
Aniston also reveals she would like a potential sequel to be made in London.
She adds, "I would do anything to shoot the third film in London. Anything."

Christoph Waltz had to see a medic on the set of Horrible Bosses 2 after he fired a gun too close to his head. The Django Unchained actor plays an evil businessman who backs out of an investment, prompting the lead trio - played by Jason Sudeikis, Jason Bateman and Charlie Day - to kidnap his son to get their money back via a ransom.
During the shoot, Waltz was left with ringing in his ears because he forgot to keep his weapon a safe distance away from his head when he fired it during a gun scene.
His co-star Day tells WENN, "Christoph Waltz injured himself the most. He shot off a gun and it was too close to his ear and he had to see a doctor cos his ear was ringing."

Actor William Hurt has moved on from the drama of his stalled Allman Brothers biopic by signing on for new movie about iconic sprinter Jesse Owens. Hurt abandoned Midnight Rider shortly after camera assistant Sarah Jones was killed on the set of the film in February (14), and now he is set to join Stephan James, Jeremy Irons, Jason Sudeikis and Carice van Houten in Race.
He'll portray Jeremiah Mahoney, the president of the Amateur Athletic Union.
The film will be shot in part at the Olympic Stadium in Berlin, Germany, where Owens picked up four Olympic gold medals in 1936 as a disgusted Adolf Hitler watched.

New mum Olivia Wilde put her own spin on the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge by dousing herself with a pale full of breast milk. The Tron: Legacy star was nominated to participate in the charity challenge by actor Ty Simpkins and actress Dianna Agron and she has since elected New Jersey Senator Cory Booker, women's rights advocate Gloria Steinem and Prince to take part in the campaign.
In a video posted on Instagram.com, she says, "I hope it's OK, I couldn't find any water, so I'm going to use breast milk. Took me all night to make this."
Meanwhile, Wilde's fiance, Jason Sudeikis accepted the challenge from former U.S. presidential nominee Mitt Romney and was soaked with ice cold water for almost a minute.
An army of stars, including Wilde's Rush co-star Chris Hemsworth and her In Time castmate Justin Timberlake, have taken the freezing water challenge to raise cash and awareness for the ALS Association.

"We had battles over other names, but not with Otis! I wanted to name him after Otis Redding and I thought, if you like this one, we're gonna go with this one!" Actress Olivia Wilde had no problem convincing her fiance Jason Sudeikis to name their son after the soul icon.

Olivia Wilde has been pictured breastfeeding her baby son as part of a high fashion magazine photoshoot. The Tron: Legacy star is seen wearing a sparkling designer gown and towering high-heeled shoes as she nurses four-month-old Otis, her first child with fiance Jason Sudeikis.
Wilde hopes posing for the intimate shot for America's Glamour magazine will empower other new mothers, saying, "Being shot with Otis is so perfect because any portrait of me right now isn't complete without my identity as a mother being a part of that. Breastfeeding is the most natural thing... It feels like Otis should always be on my breast. It felt like we were capturing that multifaceted woman we've been discussing - that we know we can be. You can be someone who is at once maternal and professional and sexy and self-possessed. I mean, I certainly don't really look like that when I'm (usually) breastfeeding."
She adds of her wedding plans, "We're engaged, but no specific plans yet. We just have to find the time to put it together. In many ways, a child is more of a commitment. We are fully committed and really happy as a family... I don't feel any pressure to do it (marry). But I think it will be really fun."

NBC
Looks like they won't be "live from New York" any longer. After a difficult, uneven season that saw an influx of new cast members, controversy and the loss of Head Writer and "Weekend Update" host Seth Meyers halfway through the year, Saturday Night Live is by cutting down its slate of featured players down to a more manageable size. Brooks Wheelan announced that he would be leaving Tuesday morning on Twitter (via a joke, natch). Later in the day, it was announced that Noël Wells and John Milhiser also wouldn't return after they failed to make an impression with audiences this year. Those announcements come about a month after Nasim Pedrad, one of the current longest-running cast members, would be leaving to work on Mulaney.
But just because they won't be on SNL any longer, that doesn't mean that it's the last we'll ever see of Wheelan, Wells, Milhiser and Pedrad. There are plenty of people who only lasted a couple of seasons on the show and then went on to become major stars: Sarah Silverman, Damon Wayans, Rob Riggle, and Iron Man himself, Robert Downey Jr., to name just a few. With that in mind, we decided to take a look back at their tenure on SNL in order to best predict what's next for Wheelan, Wells, Milhiser and Pedrad. Although if any one of them is going to wind up playing a superhero, our money's on Heshy.
Brooks Wheelan What’s Next: Wheelan doesn’t have a lot lined up at the moment, though he does have a short film titled Lose Yourself, Save Yourself, where he plays Fighter 2. His Strengths: Possibly because he comes from a standup background rather than a sketch one, Wheelan didn’t create very many memorable characters, and his most significant moments on the show were his two appearances as himself on “Weekend Update,” where he would warn audiences against the dangers of getting terrible tattoos and binge drinking. Where We See Him: Wheelan seems to embody the same kind of “goofy, wisecracking All-American” guy that actors like Jake Johnson or fellow SNL alum Jason Sudeikis trade on. We could easily see him bringing some of the energy to a sitcom where he plays the sarcastic straight guy to a group of off-the-wall characters. Still, his weirdly funny exterminator bit with Ed Norton proves he’s capable of some truly strange characters, and so we could see him playing smaller, supporting roles in films for a while as a variety of strange, obnoxious characters. And of course, there’s always his stand up career to fall back on…
Noël Wells What’s Next: Wells has the TV series Gentleman Lobsters, which is slated for a 2014 premiere. She’s also a photographer in her spare time, and her work has been showcased in exhibitions and been printed in magazines. Her Strengths: Though they were slightly hit and miss – her Nancy Grace was four minutes of eye twitches and catchphrases – Wells made the biggest impact on the show through her impressions, most notably, playing Lena Dunham in the season premiere’s parody of Girls. Where We See Her: Though her talent with impressions and slightly offbeat characters would serve her well on another sketch show, something along the lines of Inside Amy Schumer or Key and Peele, Wells most reminds us of two other early SNL departures: Jenny Slate and Casey Wilson. Like them, Wells has a quirky charm to her that would serve her well in indie films (she actually earned solid reviews for her work in last year’s Forev) and in an ensemble sitcom, where she would be free to play up her weirder side.
John Milhiser What’s Next: Like Wheelan, Milhiser has a short film on his slate, Little Horribles, and he also starred in the indie film Camp Takota, which is available online. His Strengths: Milhiser didn’t get much of a chance to make an impression on audiences, although eh did show off a pitch-perfect Jon Cryer impression during a Family Feud sketch. He did, however, have one highlight during his tenure, a sketch where he and Lady Gaga played “encouraging” stage parents helping their child through a talent show performance, which let him show off his goofier side, and his ability to execute a high kick. Where We See Him: Milhiser strikes us as a Ben Falcone or Nat Faxon-type, someone who pops up in different things all the time, playing characters with varying levels of insanity and oddity. He’s definitely shown that he can play both weird and silly characters, but since he didn’t make that much of an impression, he’ll probably be “that guy from that thing” for a while, until he manages to find the right project to help him break out.
Nasim Pedrad What’s Next: After five years on SNL, Pedrad is leaving in order to play Jane, the roommate of John Mulaney’s character on the FOX sitcom Mulaney. Her Strengths: During her time on the show, Pedrad played a wide variety of characters, including Kim Kardashian, Arianna Huffington, Bedelia, the awkward teenager whose best friend is her mother and Shallon, the world’s most dangerous fifth grader. Though she never made the kind of impression that Kristen Wiig and Kate McKinnon have, she’s become a vital part of the ensemble over the past five years, thanks to her ability to inhabit both the sanest and the oddest human beings. Where We See Her: Hopefully, her role on Mulaney will be exactly what she needs to properly break out, since she never quite managed to on SNL. From there, we could see her following a similar career path to Wiig or Tina Fey, playing both broad comedy and more serious roles in both television in movies. Alternatively, she could become more of a Michaela Watkins/Ana Gasteyer- type, and becoming the go-to actress for slightly odd, scene-stealing characters.

Coming in at a svelte 1:40, the new Horrible Bossess 2 teaser does what teasers are made to do, but so few actually manage to. It teases.
It doesn't spoil your appetite; it piques your interest. Most importantly, it leaves you wanting. Too often, film marketing pummels audiences with trailers chock-full of all the good stuff: Plot points, jokes, action scenes, and surprises that deserve their grand unveiling on the big screen and in the actual film, not squeezed onto a computer monitor at a shameful bitrate or pounded into the head of theater goers so that when the jokes finally do pop up in the actual movie, they hit like a wet noodle. Just look at how much the trailer for A Million Ways to Die in the West tells you about the film. Another trailer even lets loose the film's best cameo.
Warner Bros. Pictures
This, on the other hand, is the perfect teaser. It tells you everything one should need to know about the film: The guys (Jason Bateman, Jason Sudeikis, and Charlie Day) are back, there will be a kidnapping at some point, someone that looks like Chris Pine is stuffed into a car trunk, Kevin Spacey is in jail, Jennifer Aniston would very much like to become a bed pan, Motherf**ker Jones still hasn't found a decent barber, and shenanigans will most definitely ensue. Why is all of this madness happening? Who cares right now! Let's find out while we're actually watching the movie.
We all know the big marketing push is on the horizon, and with it comes trailers stuffed with too much plot, too many jokes, and the big cameo appearance spoiled months ahead of release. It's inevitable. The sun rises and trailers spoil movies. But lets enjoy being in the dark while it lasts.

Summary

Jason Sudeikis delivered his sketches with a dry wit and a smugness that often left viewers feeling there was more to the joke than he was letting on, yet he radiated an endearing Everyman quality while playing even the most obnoxious of characters. The talented performer made the rounds in Chicago's club circuit before landing a coveted spot on the iconic sketch comedy series, "Saturday Night Live" (NBC, 1975- ); first as a writer and then a cast member. Sudeikis quickly gained a huge fan base with his memorable portrayals of an ESPN sportscaster promoting feminine hygiene products, or of an annoying preppy with zero social skills. One of his biggest fans was the equally talented "SNL" alum, Tina Fey, who cast Sudeikis as her one-true-love interest on her hit series, "30 Rock" (NBC, 2006- ). As he savored his small screen success, he also began racking up supporting roles in feature films like "What Happens in Vegas" (2008), "Semi-Pro" (2008), and "Going the Distance" (2010). A starring role in the dark comedy "Horrible Bosses" (2011) pitted Sudeikis against more seasoned actors like Jamie Foxx, Jason Bateman and Jennifer Aniston, and established him not only as an A-list comedian but positioned him to become a bankable movie star.
